KVM: arm64: Add primitives to flush/sync the VGIC state at EL2

Browse source

pKVM performs its own world switch for protected VMs but has no
primitives to move the per-vCPU VGIC state between the host and
hypervisor vCPU contexts.

Add flush_hyp_vgic_state() and sync_hyp_vgic_state(). Flush copies
vgic_hcr, the in-use list registers and used_lrs from the host into the
hyp vCPU and pins vgic_sre to a fixed value; sync copies vgic_hcr,
vgic_vmcr and the in-use list registers back. The active priority
registers are handled separately by the save/restore-aprs path.

Bound used_lrs by hyp_gicv3_nr_lr, the cached implemented-LR count,
instead of reading ICH_VTR_EL2 on each entry. That clamps the
host-supplied value and avoids a per-entry sysreg read that is costly
under NV.
